Goat Rush Bonus Features

Bonus symbol

We've got some rules for this crazy train ride called the Goat Rush slot game! The Bonus symbol can land on reels 2, 3, and 4 in both the Main Game and Free Spins. But don't go looking for it during the Mystery Feature or Respins, because it won't be there! And let's not forget, the Bonus symbol is a scatter symbol, so keep your eyes peeled for it!

Wild symbol

It's a sneaky little thing that can only appear on the reels during the Mystery Feature or the Dropping Wild Feature. But don't underestimate its power, because it can substitute for all regular symbols in win evaluation. Just remember, the Blank symbol is only part of the Wild Train and doesn't take part in win evaluation.

Respin Feature

Every time you get a bet line win, the Respin Feature gets activated. And guess what? When there are no more wager line wins, all gains are added to the Win Meter and the reels continue to roll. The overall gain in the Win Meter is multiplied by the Gold Multiplier and given out at the conclusion of the Respin. And where does the Gold Multiplier come from, you ask? Well, it starts at x1 and each Walking Wild that walks is raised by one degree by going past the last reel on the left. The levels of the Gold Multiplier are from x1 to x10 in the Main Game and from x1 to x50 in the Free Spins. So, make sure to keep an eye on those Wilds!

Dropping Wild

When the Respin is initiated, all places in a successful combination are marked. Before the reels end, a Wild goat that is in the cart above a designated location will drop there. The Wild moves to the spot that is the farthest down if there are multiple marked areas. The Dropping Wild won't be used if a Walking Wild wanders onto the only designated location on a reel.

Mystery Feature

Every spin has a possibility of having it trigger at the beginning. Only the Mystery Pattern can trigger it in the Main Game, but both the Mystery Pattern and the Mystery Wild can in the Free Spins. The Mystery Pattern randomly assigns a design of 6 locations on the reels, and one of those positions, at random, receives a Wild symbol.Except for Wild, a randomly chosen paying symbol is put on each of the remaining 5 spots. Additionally, the Mystery Wild scatters 1 to 3 Wild symbols on the grid at random. So, get ready for some action!

Free Spins

In the Main Game, landing 3 Bonus symbols on the grid triggers 10 free spins, with 1 extra spin awarded for each Bonus symbol. There is, however, a catch: only 15 more Free Spins can be given. And if you're feeling adventurous, you can even buy Free Spins for 65x the bet straight from the Main Game. But remember, the RTP for the buy feature is 94.32%. 

Our Experience Playing Goat Rush

Well, well, well, when we first stumbled upon this slot, we thought we had accidentally entered the kiddie corner of the casino. But hey, who said adults can't relive their childhood and win some money at the same time? The twangy banjo tunes got us all hyped up, and we were ready to hit that spin button like it was a pinata. The game was adorable, but we needed to see if it had any bite to it. So we threw in 200 Euros, set the bet to 1 Euro, and spun the reels around 300 times, like a carnival ride that wouldn't stop. In the first 100 spins, we were already winning left and right, with payouts ranging from 1x to 3x our bet, and even scored a sweet x20 win thanks to the Respin Feature. We were on a “roll”, raking in a profit of 4 Euros. The next 100 spins were just as fruitful, except for the one measly bonus round that only gave us 15x our stake, leaving a sour taste in our mouths. We were down 12 Euros, but we didn't let that discourage us. Finally, in the last 100 spins, luck was on our side again, and we hit a Respin Feature with an x5 multiplier, giving us a nice little win of x25. All in all, we only lost 5 Euros after 300 spins, which isn't too shabby. But we left the slot with mixed feelings, like a kid who got a toothache from too much candy. Maybe next time we'll stick to the grown-up games, or maybe we'll just embrace our inner child and play this slot again. Who knows, maybe we'll win big and buy a whole playground with our winnings!

Goat Rush Verdict

Listen, this slot is like that really good-looking person you meet at a bar. Sure, they may turn heads and make you swoon, but when it comes down to it, they just don't have the personality to back it up. The graphics and visuals are undeniably impressive, but the payout potential is lacking, to say the least. During the main game, the winnings are about as small as a penny in a wishing well, and even the rare exceptions are not enough to make you jump for joy. And don't even get me started on the bonus games - it was like being promised a trip to Disneyland and ending up at a run-down carnival. Maybe we were just unlucky, but either way, we're not very eager to give it another go. But hey, don't let us rain on your parade. You're more than welcome to give it a spin and see for yourself. Just don't say we didn't warn you. Best of luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor...or at least somewhat decent.
